一日不讀書
三月減其樂
何如富貴人
束之委高閣
吾抱躬行志
至老猶力作
偶為識字農
賦性奈劣弱
聊云樂天命
守分伍燕雀
營巢茅屋足
豈羡乘軒鶴
If I do not read books for a single day,
For three months my pleasure is reduced.
How about those wealthy, high-placed folks
who pack them away in high towers'
I embrace the ambition of “carrying it out in my conduct,”
Until old age, still working hard at it!
I happen to have become a literate peasant:
Alas, that my nature is so weak!
For now, I will just enjoy Heaven’s Mandate,
Accepting my lot like the swallows or sparrows.
They are content building nests in thatched roofs;
Would they envy that crane who rode in a carriage'
